It's Waffle Day!

Today is Waffle Day! And it's also the day when we switch back to normal time, from daylight saving's time. Hrm. That always sneaks up on me. I woke up really late today - or so I thought, 10 am. Little did I realise that it was in fact 11 am! But I quickly found out...

We had waffles with Tesse & Danne who don't have a waffle maker of their own. I didn't make my own batter this year either, as I'm perfectly happy with the mixes for this yearly event. (Yes, this is pretty much the one day per year that I eat waffles. It's not at all as common here as it is in USA, and it's definitely not considered a breakfast food.)

We like our waffles with whipped cream and jam - preferrably several types of jam. I served regular strawberry jam, strawberry-rhubarb-vanilla (that's what's in the picture), raspberry-red currant and cherry jam (my favorite!).

Thanks for clearing that up! I have a hard time just remembering to set the watch, so I haven't really paid attention to what it's called internationally :) Here it's just "summertime" vs "wintertime". :)
